Reference Guide

NOTE: The timezone or daylight savings time is fully supported for '-l' and '-z' options.
Omit the '-l' option to set the timezone only (eg. '-z US/Central').
• -l — Sets the local date and time in the string yyymmddhhmmss where:
— yyyy is the year
— mm is the month
— dd is the day
— hh is the hour
— mm is the minute
— ss is the second
— Setting the time using the -l and -z options is recommended. This command format
allows the CMC to fully support local time zones, including the ability to automatically adjust
the CMC time to the local Daylight Savings Time.
Example The setractime subcommand supports dates ranging from 1/1/1970 00:00:00 through
12/31/2030 23:59:59. To set the local time to October 24, 2007 at 3:02:30 PM:
racadm setractime -l 20071024150230
The time was set successfully.
setslotname
Description
Sets the name of the slot and enables the feature to display the host name (if available) or
iDRAC DNS name of all the four slots, or of a specied slot (indicated by the slot number) in the
chassis. Optionally, use this command to set whether the slot name or host name is displayed in
the CMC web interface or with the getslotname -i < slot Num > command. If the host name is
not available, the static slot name is used.
To use this subcommand, you must have the Administrator privilege.
NOTE:
• The OMSA server agent must be present and running on the server to use the Display
Hostname feature. If the agent is not running, the setting is ignored. For more
information, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator User's Guide at
support.dell.com/manuals.
• The special characters " (double quote), ` (back quote), & (ampersand), and \
(backslash) are not supported for this subcommand.
